kosemkamtsan Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 seems like silix has an 03-97 that looks pretty good to my eye for 135 bones. does anyone have thoughts on its accuracy? very hard to find pics of the gen. not even on BR website.

anton Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 too many flaws with this model. but the most obvious???? it doesn't exist as a gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosemkamtsan Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 i've actually heard it said that it does exist as a past limited edition model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert808 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Despite knowing that there was not a gen version of this and the buckle is stamped BR01 I bought it anyway. I usually go for reps that are as close as possible to the gen, but I liked the look and size (42mm) of the watch. The quality is very nice and I have had many compliments from strangers on this one. More than my other watches. I think that is because this one is big, square and really stands out on your wrist. I know it is fantasy rep, but I like it and that's what counts for me.

sssurfer Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 The Power Reserve B&R definitely exists. The problems are: 1. It is a BR 01-XX model (namely BR 01-97), not a 03-XX. Hence, a 46mm model. 2. In the rep the PR gauge is poorly placed. Honestly, I would not even think about wearing a 46mm BR unless my wrists are real trunks. Boys, those beasts are HUGE!
